Huntsman's Lodge is an impressive character home, built in 1850s with a later extension by the current owners, located in Wrotham Heath. The property has been sympathetically renovated and updated to offer a blend of the period character with contemporary design and finish. Internally the property provides in excess of 4,000 sq ft and salient points include stunning open plan reception room, a gym within a versatile detached outbuilding and grounds of about 0.8 acres with detached garage and ample off-road parking. Huntsman's Lodge is set in a convenient location with excellent road links, and close to the villages of Platt, Offham and Addington, with Borough Green station also within 2 miles.
A covered entrance porch with pitched roof leads to the reception hall with staircase ascending to the first floor, steps leading down to an inner hall which in turn leads to the principal reception rooms.
An excellent suite of connecting reception rooms create a superb open-plan area ideal for formal and informal entertaining, comprising a dining room with steps leading down to the open plan kitchen and the striking and generously proportioned sitting/family room with contemporary, centrally positioned fireplace, impressive skylights, sliding doors leading out to the terrace and full height windows allowing an abundance of natural light into the space. A snug is situated off the sitting room and has a feature fireplace.
The kitchen is fitted with a comprehensive range of wall and base cupboards with Corian work surfaces over, integral appliances and a range style cooker.

To the first floor, the principal bedroom has a range of fitted wardrobes and an en suite shower room, with a spacious, bespoke dressing room with a mix of open shelving, drawers and hanging, situated directly over the landing.
There are two further double bedrooms, a study/bedroom, all with fitted storage, and served by two bath/shower rooms, one benefitting from a large storeroom.
The property is approached via a driveway providing parking for several vehicles, leading to a detached tandem garage, with mature trees and herbaceous shrubs to the border. A versatile detached outbuilding has an excellent double height space, and is currently used as a gym with a kitchen area, a shower room and a mezzanine storage space above.
The delightful landscaped rear garden comprises areas of lawn with decked terraces spanning the width of the property, creating excellent areas for al fresco dining and entertaining. The gardens are completely enclosed with a mixture of established specimen and evergreen trees and shrubs to the perimeter.
